- dedicated mentors with extensive research expertise and significant project management experience
- extensive training opportunities including a bespoke personal development plan
- peer support from a cross disciplinary cohort of talented early career researchers
The current call includes the themes: 'data and digital' and 'cities and place'. Each theme is a wrapper for many different topics of enquiry from around the university. Sub-topics in these themes include:

- precision livestock (smart farming)
- early-life data science
- mathematical and statistical modelling of biological and biomedical systems
- modelling of behaviour
- ecological challenges
- behaviour change for healthier lives
- behaviour change for addressing the grand challenges in rural areas

- behaviour
- behavioural ecology
- modelling
- health
- behaviour change
- animal science
